And here is our post about the LiveAquaria fish - full of great info: http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/general.cfm?general_pagesid=476

YOu are correct that they show up in the Diver's Den only.

A little bit aggression but didn't take them long to by their nem.... Bigger sometimes tries to bully out the smaller clown out of the nem... But they r still juvenile so let see what happens.... I am prepare to all necessary steps if they get to aggressive .... Check this recent iPhone video out... Lights r out but still nice to watch...

super cool, so the only the way to get one is off LA DD or talk to your LFS who orders from ORA already? :bounce1:

how aggressive are they anyway? would they bother anthias, wrasses or gobies or other peaceful fish like tangs and butterfly fish?

:fish1:

They r only aggressive towards each other...

To be honest, until I have mine, I never knew that the stupid tomato complex is so hard to pair up; they typically come as breeding pair from somebody.

Talking to others, it seems the 'similar size' pairing method works really poorly with this whole complex (even if they can tolerate each other for longer duration). Huge size differences seems to work best.

Every Mcc in the US and most of the non-AU countries come from the same source from Ryan (Mr.Blue), so they are all F1 (same genetics as wild caught since parents are wild caught). Quite a few unethnical importers marked them as "wild caught" to demand for more money .. back then.

interesting better start saving the green if I want one

also just curious is anyone here trying to breed their ORA ones at home?

I would like to try that some day :bigeyes:

would a RSM 34g be fine for a single one?

(other tankmates would be gobies, firefish and such)

Any updates on any of these fish ?
